OT - question about possibly faded color on a magazine?

[Eric72]

A couple questions:

Has the cover "toned" from the outer edges inward, as is somewhat typical of comics from the same general time period?

Does the magazine smell like an old comic? It's a hard smell to describe; however, I believe you have experience with comics and know the scent. The magazine cover might have a high acid content, which could possibly explain what's going on.
